  2. Evidence-Based Medicine Therapies in ACS; From Principles to Practice • Conflict of interest: • Research grants - • Berlex, Sanofi-Aventis, Schering-Plough, The Medicine Company, Bristol Meyer Squibb, CVT Therapeutics, and Eli Lilly • Stock ownership - • Medtronic, Savacor • Consultant - • Northpointe Domain, Liposcience, Abiomed, Datascope, and Inovise Medical

  3. Provider-centered Price-driven Care decisions widely varying Fragmented care Little quality measurement Persistent escalating costs Patient-centered Value-driven Evidence-based care Coordinated care Ubiquitous quality measurement Overall cost decline Changes in Health Care Systems: Moving From the 20th to the 21st Century 21st Century 20th Century National Committee for Quality Health Care 2003

  4. Quality of Care Incorporated in the “Drugs for the Elderly” Medicare Bill Passed by Congress in 2003 Program Description Pay for performance IOM to develop a strategy for aligning quality and payment Hospital to report on Hospitals that report will get performance 0.4% larger payments Changing MD’s practice MD that participate will get higher pay Improving access for Develop demonstration chronic illness (CHF) programs IT provision Grants for electronic prescribing

  6. Evolution of Guidelines for ACS 2004 2007 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 1990ACC/AHAAMI R. Gunnar 1994AHCPR/NHLBIUA E. Braunwald 1996 1999Rev Upd ACC/AHA AMI T. Ryan 2000 2002 2007 Rev UpdRev ACC/AHA UA/NSTEMI E. Braunwald J. Anderson Figure 1. Evolution of Guidelines for Management of Patients with AMI The first guideline published by the ACC/AHA described the management of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The subsequent three documents were the Agency for Healthcare and Quality/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute sponsored guideline on management of unstable angina (UA), the revised/updated ACC/AHA guideline on AMI, and the revised/updated ACC/AHA guideline on unstable angina/non-ST segment myocardial infarction (UA/NSTEMI). The present guideline is a revision and deals strictly with the management of patients presenting with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The names of the chairs of the writing committees for each of the guidelines are shown at the bottom of each box. Rev, Revised; Upd, Update 2004 2007 Rev Upd ACC/AHA STEMI E. Antman

  7. CRUSADE National Quality Improvement Initiative • Academic collaboration between cardiology and emergency medicine specialties started in 2001 • Multiple industry sponsors • Millennium-Schering Plough • Bristol-Myers-Squibb • Sanofi-Aventis • Merck-Schering • PDL Pharma • Goal: Improve adherence to ACC/AHA ACS guidelines • UA and NSTEMI  STEMI added in 2004

  8. Aspirin Clopidogrel Beta Blocker Heparin (UFH or LMWH) GP IIb-IIIa Inhibitor All receiving cath/PCI Aspirin Clopidogrel Beta Blocker ACE Inhibitor Statin/Lipid Lowering Smoking Cessation Cardiac Rehabilitation Goals for CRUSADE: Improve Adherence to ACC/AHA Guidelines forPatients with Unstable Angina/Non-STEMI Discharge Therapies Acute Therapies • Evaluating the Process of Care • An adherence score is applied to each patient. incorporating the components of process of care. • The score from each patient then combined for all patients at each hospital. Typical scores ranged from 50 to 95%. • All 400 hospital adherence scores then ranked in quartiles - best to worst. Circulation, JACC 2002 - ACC/AHA Guidelines update
